Is there a pickup line that you wish a woman used on you?
I'm kind of cheeky, so all of the things running through my head are probably unprintable. But anything to do with food—if a chick said, "Let's go out to eat," I'd be very happy.

How soon do you know you're hooked on a woman?
Sometimes it can happen instantly. My eyes give it away, or her eyes give it away. Those little looks that you get that make you go, "Huh, there's more behind that."

Do you have any hidden talents?
I love cooking. I like to make lasagna—it's authentic Italian-style. I also do a great chicken recipe for a barbecue.

Cheating: Is it ever forgivable?
I think it can be forgivable. If it's a new relationship and things are just starting, then who knows—you might not have sorted these things out, and one person would consider it cheating while the other person wouldn't. And then, later in the relationship. . .You want to say you'd walk, but what do you do? You f—king love them.

So it's safe to say you believe in second chances.
I definitely do. We're not all perfect; people make mistakes. You have to have some compassion.

Fast Talk
What's the first thing you notice about a woman?
Her eyes.

Long hair or short?
Long.

Perfume or nothing?
Perfume. I love anything that smells like gardenias.
